Hope for the Future: Lessons From Mid-Century Modern Design | www.houzz.com

This is a great post from a while ago, but it is definitly still relevant and worth a read. Thanks to Secret Design Studio for discovering this one and for again providing such a great link to the world of Mid-Century Modern design!
